Lux Row Distillers, a spirit label that owns a range of high-end bourbon brands, has announced that it has added two new SKUs to its portfolio. Starting this month, the company's Rebel 100 and Ezra Brooks 99 brands will begin offering their signature whiskeys in a 1.75L format.
Ezra Brooks 99 is an oak-barrel-aged Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey that features a smooth yet spicy flavor profile. As the name suggests, this expression has been elevated to a 99 proof. Meanwhile, Rebel 100 is a heated bourbon whiskey that offers a full body. However, this whiskey arrives at full 100 proof.
“Our decision to include both brands in 1.75L bottles is a reflection of their continued popularity, as well as our ongoing effort to give our customers what they are looking for," said Eric Winter, whiskey brand manager for Lux Row Distillers.
